Two consuming conditions, resulting in much misunderstanding and deep angst. Different in nature, the most striking similarity is a consuming fire of illusion.
Jealousy connotes resenting that which another possesses. Anger, sense of loss, or resentment contribute strongly to emotional jealousy. Feeling 'less than' is a powerful detriment to rational thought.
Begrudging others good fortune or success is a hallmark of envy. It is a mean emotion which feeds on itself if allowed to remain in the mind.
In either feeling/emotion, dissecting its origins will accomplish much. Comparisons are futile. Learning to understand that personal failings or faults cannot be modified by projection of ill will or lack on another is the beginning of wisdom.
Stay within the sphere of that life you have been given. Appreciate those characteristics that are useful. Stay away from comparing - it is irrational and incendiary.
Learn to like yourself.
